Everything at Hank's is always fresh & delicious! It's been there for many years and hasn't changed a bit, thank God. Stand up counter for indoor eating. Plenty of parking to eat in the car. A handful of picnic tables with Sabrett umbrella for shade to eat outside. My favorites are "The Hot Italian" which consists of chopped Green & Red Hot Peppers and Onions. Just a touch of red sauce, and onions are not overcooked. My other favorite is Hank's Hot Texas Weiner, raw onions, mustard and their delicious chili. All buns are steamed, fresh and soft. The hot dogs are boiled Sabrett brand. Other toppings are melted hot cheese, steamed potatoes, and sweeter red onions. Which all can be mixed and matched as you please. Very clean, very friendly and extremely delicious hot dogs and homemade toppings. read more

Passed this place by accident and stopped in for lunch. Ordered 2 dogs all the way. (Mustard, chili, chopped onions) Typical Sabretts. Dogs were good. Chili sauce was weak. The onions saved this whimpering wiener. Cheap prices. Love the old fashioned hot dog stand atmosphere. read more

The hot dog toppings make this place different from most hot dog stands. Upon entry I was greeted by the counter person, who offered to show me each individual topping. Most of the toppings here are homemade. The counter person also offered some suggestions on what goes well together. I followed his advice and I ordered a chili cheesedog, a hot dog with red onions, and a hot dog with potato and hot onions. They use Sabrett hot dogs here, so I was familiar with the taste. The suggested toppings did indeed go well together and I had three tasty hot dogs. Only knock on this place, really is the price and maybe the hours. For 3 hot dogs with toppings and a drink, the total cost was $9.50. A bit pricey. Also they seem to close at 5pm on weekdays. Seems a bit early, so it may be hard to get here all that often. read more

Boiled hot dogs.. my husband loves this place. He'll scarf down 4 with cheese, chili, onions & mustard like nothing. It's a tiny little place on the side of rt. 46. Looks pretty clean& the guys behind the counter are friendly. No seating but there's a little counter you can stand at to grab a quick bite& if it's nice out they have some picnic tables outside. Make sure to bring cash! read more

Theyre hot dogs, whats there to say? Yummy hot and fresh because they keep em moving and have limited hours. The onion have a kick to them,,,,love that. Tables outside in the good weather but stand up only inside...my only complaint as i like to sit to eat my food. If you like dirty water dogs, franks is the place to go! read more

After sampling the dogs at the previous location I personally was ready to pack it in, and call it a day. I felt we were moving down the scale at this point but Hank's Franks was on the itinerary so off we went to our last stop. If I thought hotdog fatigue was settling in, my taste buds were awakened at Hank's Franks. My wife's Uncle suggested the potato topping but it look more like a stew and wasn't appealing enough for me to soggy up my hotdog. I kept it simple and went with the mustard, kraut, and red onions. With my first bite, I could immediately taste the simplicity, yet scrumptious elements that made this hotdog stand out from the rest. The dog was good, mustard with a little bite, fresh kraut, and red onions are all basic elements of a quality dirty water dog. My Hank's experience was only enhanced once I saw Orangeade on the menu. There is nothing like the lingering taste of red onions, mustard, and a sugary orange drink. #1 Ranked Spot of the North Jersey Hot Dog Tour read more

Popped in for two chili dogs. Wasn't all that impressed. Quality hot dog, bun and mustard but chili was subpar. Not much flavor on the chili for my taste. Mustard had nice kick to it which I liked. Place is very clean which is a nice thing. An ok place to grab a quick bite. read more

Great spot right on rt 46 just before Hasbrouck Heights. Small but clean spot and they have fast service. Simple menu, dogs and drinks. They keep it moving. *** Cash Only Spot*** If you love dirty water dogs, this is a very good spot. Many toppungs available.( Potatoes, clili, cheese, onions relish etcs...) I had 2 simple chili and cheesedogs. Chili is tasty, not to meaty nor spicy but taste great. Cheese sauce was just right.. I would definitely recommend it. Dogs were about 2.50 each. read more

I grew up literally right up the block from Hanks Frank's I've since moved to Las Vegas. The one thing that I miss greatly is hanks franks the best hotdogs ever.

For nearly 3$ I expected more than a measly thin hotdog with barely seasoned onion chunks on top. If you're looking for a truly great hotdog, I'd skip this place. read more

I'm a Hiram's guy, but I like to give anyone pushing hot dogs a shot. Hank's has been around for a long time. They use Sabrett dogs, so there's a commitment to quality there. They offer a bunch of toppings like chili, sweet onions, or even spicy onions. But I'm a Hiram's guy. They boil their hot dogs at Hank's. But it is kinda cool to eat your dogs alongside Route 46, especially during the warmer months. I think all those fumes just add to the flavor in a positive way. If you like hot dogs, then Hank's is a must try. But after you give Hank's a try, head down 46 towards Hiram's. And you'll see what I'm talking about... read more

I love this place so much! The food is great, and super cheap. The only down side is parking is kind of hard. BUT! Don't let that stop you from going read more

HOTDOGS!!! GET'EM WHILE THEY ARE HOT!!! What a spot!!!! Just came back from ordering the 4 specialty Hotdogs and all i can say is .. i didn't even get the chance to eat 1 in my house. The hot dogs are excellent, they are the traditional boiled style that you get from a vendor on the streets of NYC, excellent and tasty ! They are also a tad smaller than your average pup, but again the dog is made up with the toppings. its a quality place to check out if you want a quick bite and a cool buy 8 and get 1 free isn't a bad buy!!! well worth the stop in!!!! ALSO This might be one of the rare spots where you can buy RC COLA & Pennsylvania Dutch Birch Beer ON TAP!!!! WOW!!! i will be back :) read more

A Bergen County classic! Dirty water dogs (Sabrett's), served in a nice soft roll and plenty of excellent toppings including spicy onions, raw onions, sauerkraut, relish and a top notch bean less chili. Parking can be tough, pulling out can hazardous, but damn, a great old fashioned dog in an old fashioned shop with great old fashioned service! read more

Great sabrett in the casing, dirty water style hot dogs with soft fresh buns. Great homemade hot onions and chili. If you are looking for classic hot dogs that they sell in Newark from the truck, this is the place. Delicious. read more

My grandfather took me here for the first time over 30 years ago. I still go back and the dogs taste just like they did when I was a little boy. Every time we come come I bring my family to Hanks because I want them to experience the same awesome feeling I had. I always order 2 Texas and 2 potato, when I was young it was 1 of each but that is why I am reviewing food places! This is a landmark! read more

My great grandfather took me to Hank's Franks, a short walk from his home. Great memories of this place from my childhood, and they still make the hands down best Texas Wiener in the world. No frills Americana here. A basic stand in the same spot for decades, good food, good prices. The dogs are Sabretts, the toppings are phenomenal. The Texas Wiener was created a few miles down the road in Paterson but it was perfected in Lodi. I know there are other menu choices here, but I could not tell you anything about them. The Texas Wiener has just the right mustard, fresh onions and the most perfect sauce in the world, the perfect blend of flavors! so I have never strayed... Have an Egg Cream to drink with it, and sorry folks, they only serve Hot Dogs. No Fries. No Burgers. Just Hot Dogs! And that is alright by me ;) read more

This has been a family tradition for me and I have been going here when in the area for over 30 years. The good thing is that in all of these years the quality remains the same. Great toppings and wash it all down with an egg cream (nothing better with a hot dog in my opinion). Texas chili is my favorite and always a winner. read more

Solid 3 stars. I liked these hot dogs but they are boiled which makes them - different. Still tasty just a different texture. Doesn't have the firm outside that hot dogs usually have. My favorite part was definitely the toppings. I had spicy onions and mustard and I really loved the onions. Great spot for a quick bite. A few tables outside - but it's right on route 46 so not a quiet location to eat. read more

The franks were great because they use sabretts, but honestly nothing spectacular. Potato topping while unique is bland, spicy onions were delicious.The bread could have been warmed or toasted. read more

Dirty water dogs - nobody does them better. If you're looking for a fried or grilled hot dog and come here, you'll be disappointed. Their mild red onion and hot italian (hot onions) are the best. Chili is good and not at all watery. ( miss the old days where they had 2 chilis, mild and hot. This chili is mostly a mild.) If you like side orders like fries or beans, don't come here. If you want waiter service, don't come here. If you want to sit inside, don't come here. If you want to sit outside, but don't like traffic... guess what, don't come here. If you want the best dirty water dog around. this is your place. read more
